Add a maintenance item

Add a maintenance item

Create a scheduled maintenance item on an asset so Syndik8 can track when it is next due.

Before you start

• You must be an admin on the syndicate.
• Know the interval (for example, every 50 hours or every 365 days) and either the meter reading at last completion or the last-completed date.

Steps

1. Open the asset: Syndicate → Assets → [asset].
2. Open Maintenance on the asset.
3. Tap Add maintenance item.
4. Choose Custom item. (To pick from a preset, follow Use a maintenance template instead.)
5. Enter the Name (for example, 100-Hour Inspection).
6. Enter an optional Description of what the work involves.
7. Choose the Interval Type:
   • Hours: usage-based (engine hours).
   • Day: calendar-based (e.g. every 7 days for a weekly check, every 365 days for an annual).
8. Enter the Interval Value (for example, 100 for 100 hours or 365 for a yearly calendar item).
9. Record the last time this item was completed:
   • For Hours, enter the Last Completed At meter reading (for example, 1200).
   • For Day, tap the date field and pick the Last Completed On date.
10. Tap Create Maintenance Item.

Syndik8 computes the next-due value or date and adds the item to the asset’s maintenance list.

If it goes wrong

• “Please enter a valid positive number”: the interval value must be greater than zero.
• “Please enter a valid number”: the meter reading at last completion must be a number.
